Karen Rubino
Reiki Master Teacher | Certified Small Animal Massage Therapist | Certified Reflexologist
1-860-209-8213
Karen Rubino became interested in Reiki through her experience as a patient's spouse at the Helen and Harry Gray Cancer Center at Hartford Hospital in 2000. By 2007, she attained the Master's level in both Usui Reiki Ryoho and Karuna Reiki, both ultimately through the International Center for Reiki Training, under William Lee Rand, the founder of the ICRT, and his lead educational staff. She also was certified in Reiki drumming in 2007, under the instruction of Michael Baird, the originator of Reiki drumming, and also of the ICRT. Most recently, she became a Reiki Holy Fire Master practitioner and teacher (2019), again under the instruction of William Lee Rand.
In 2008, Karen completed her certification for Small Animal Massage through Bancroft School of Massage Therapy/Doggone U. Working with animals was, and always will be, a passionate calling.
Under the incredible instruction of Elysia Bates of Blessed Soles, Karen became a certified Reflexologist. This was another long-standing interest that she was able to pursue after retiring from a 37-year career as a special education teacher.
By 2013, Karen had begun working for Noreen Wallace of Therapeutic Enterprises and remained happily employed there until the Covid-19 pandemic hit. During those years (2013-2020), she also became a Level 1 Rock Tape FMT practitioner, took classes in myofascial release through the Institute of Manual Therapy, and studied a variety of other types of therapeutic skills, such as Infinity Walk, EFT, and some offerings through the Edgar Cayce Foundation (Association for Research and Development). Currently, Karen works as an independent contractor at The Wholistic Collective, at Soothing Elements, and itinerantly.
She is open to two-legged clients, as well as those with four legs!

Noreen Wallace
Occupation Therapy ~ for all Ages and Stages
860-963-0712
Witnessing the shift in healthcare delivery as a newly graduated occupational therapist in the early 1980s, Noreen quickly recognized that the growing focus on productivity and billable units was overshadowing the art and science of hands-on care. After more than 15 years working across acute care, rehabilitation, hand therapy, early intervention, and home care, she found herself asking a pivotal question: How can therapy be practiced differently?
That question was answered in 1997 at her first Myofascial Release (MFR) weekend conference, where she was profoundly struck by the effectiveness of the work—particularly when she observed measurable improvements in joint mobility in elderly, institutionalized patients, with techniques successfully carried out by trained CNAs. Both fascinated and humbled by what she realized she had never been taught, she began to explore the work deeply, first as a recipient and then as a clinician. Her own treatment experiences at CenterIMT revealed the power of three-planar fulcrums and reinforced the importance of embodied learning—understanding the work from the inside out.
After the closure of her 30-year clinical practice during the COVID pandemic, she felt called to help renew and pass on this approach to a new generation of practitioners and curious learners alike. Teaching alongside everyday life—including moments of hands-on exploration with her grandchildren—has reinforced her belief that this work is intuitive, accessible, and profoundly effective for all ages, abilities, and species. Her teaching emphasizes simplicity, presence, and curiosity, offering powerful manual therapy tools for clinicians, bodyworkers, and laypeople interested in learning hands-on care for others—and for themselves.

Contact Tina at: thegroundingtreestudio@gmail.com
Tina M. Shirshac/The Grounding Tree – I am here to help you make sense of the person you are and how to stay grounded while moving forward toward health & wholeness. My experience as healing facilitator using reiki, acupressure, aromatherapy, healing gemstone jewelry, vibrational tools, mask making and end of life plans gives you options to explore.
In 2004, I began with learning Reiki and adding modalities to my repertoire to assist my clients to take the time to find and create their “Selves’.
Certifications
- Reiki Master
- Acupressure Practitioner from Soul Lightening International
- Aromatherapy from Wisdom of the Earth
- Certified Death Doula/Creative Conclusions-End of Life Plans
Additional Services
- Custom gemstone jewelry
- Vibrational healing using tuning forks and singing bowls.
These are some of the methods used to assist my clients to find their place of entirety – no matter what stage they are on their path
My journey into my ‘Self’ began by using various artistic endeavors and exploring reiki as a tool to connect to realize that the past had much to do with the fact that I had no voice in the present. On my journey, I came to a place of acknowledgement and acceptance of the experiences in my life and subsequently have found my voice. I feel strongly that my own work allows and enables me to walk with you on your own personal journey – wherever that may lead you.
I invite you to Explore, Acknowledge and Awaken into your present Self!
Testimonials

Classes beginning October 4th, every other Sunday, alternating Khristine Wallace's class.
"Yoga has been an incredible healing journey for me and my hope is to share that energy with others by providing a safe space for growth. I design my vinyasa classes to share the tools that have transformed my life. Through life's path, your true strength comes from awareness, the steadiness of your breath, and your connection to your mind. With breath work, dynamic movement, and focus, you will flow through a moving meditation. You will move with purpose, build strength, and cultivate mental clarity. Come as you are, leave feeling grounded, deeply resilient, and strong in mind and body." ~ Valerie
